Shoom Inc. said it would receive in excess of $2
million in new funding following the completion of a financing round by its
majority shareholder. Shoom President Dan Cole said Shoom will use the funding
to add staff and upgrade its information technology systems. Some of the
proceeds will also be aimed at developing new features for its iTearSheets
digital proofing application.
The features are expected to be available later
this year, according to Cole. The financing round was completed by TransData
International, a privately held, Delaware-based corporation that owns a major
stake in Shoom. In addition to iTearSheets, Shoom also offers a digital
advertising distribution application as well as a motion picture advertising
delivery service.
